Mine
®

At MINE we believe that Intellectual Property can be mined like precious metals or gemstones. It is already there in its raw form as the result of long and complex processes. It is hard to extract and even harder to find.

But we know where to look and will bring it to the surface.

MINE provides the organizational, financial, intellectual, and motivational framework for extremely talented and experienced, highly distinguished engineers and scientists to invent and create new technologies in a targeted and effective way.

In collaboration with Reality Ventures® a company specifically created for this purpose with a group of corporate and financial investors, these technologies are subsequently turned into valuable businesses.

IP mining is made up of five “I”S:

Innovation, Ingeneering™, Incubating, Investing, and Implementing.

1. Innovation

MINE recruits and employs some of the world’s finest research and engineering talent.

1. Innovation

New technology ideas worthy of being mined originate internally from the founder and from MINE’s engineers and researchers, and externally from project proposals by shareholders of Reality Ventures.

1. Innovation

MINE recruits and employs some of the world’s finest research and engineering talent with deep and extensive domain-specific knowledge and experience for targeted research and “ingenious” engineering, as well as a core engineering and executive staff.

1. Innovation

MINE’s recruiting specifically targets extremely talented and experienced, highly distinguished scientists and engineers who consider joining a start-up company a too-risky step in their professional career but have developed - often brilliant and unrealized - ideas that can fuel the core technology of possible start-up companies.

2. Ingeneering™

A proof-of-concept or prototype is developed by a small team of scientists and engineers for any new technology at MINE.

2. Ingeneering™

Subsequent to the successful implementation and validation of a proof-of-concept or prototype, a start-up company is formed.
